Any Hookah Smokers?

By the time you have your get together, I should have a Hookah and shisha pipe of my own. I will make every attempt to get it down there, but fear it will not make the trip. Either way, it isn't what you think it is. I am fully against smoking, as it serves no purpose, but Smoking a hookah with some nice Shish in it's bowl is a totally different experience. It doesn't burn, there is no after taste, it doesn't smell up your clothes, it is just a long, peaceful session of full flavor. You really have NOTHING to lose by trying it. Where do you go to try it? Don't know, but don't count yourself out of an experience because the daily news said it will ruin your life. Honest to science, I never watch the news, as it is generally full of crap. Try it out, gain a respectable opinion based of first hand experience. If you truly don't like it, leave it. You may have heard this before, but once never really killed anyone.

As my friends and I are graduating soon, we all had to clean up our vices (luckily mine were the easiest ones). Two of them have switched from cigarettes to SOEX brand molasses (in a Hookah), because it doesn't contain any tobacco and still smokes nicely. It seems to kill their physiological cravings after the physical ones have passed.
... Physiological = Psychological ... sleepy rambles ;)

That would be a cool thing to bring along. I think some people just don't like smoke, but like you said shisha smoke is very different. It's almost like a candle smell, lingers only a short while and doesn't smell up clothing or get stale.

Smoke is smoke, regardless of the method. It is all extremely unhealthy, and smells putrid. (The worst are cigars, though. I want to puke when I get within smelling distance of one of those!)

The only time the smell of smoke bothers me is if I am hangin`. Other than that I do not have a real problem with it.

Although in my circle it was called an "Arguileh" more often than hookah. I used to enjoy cherry or green apple in it, and it's not really smoke. The charcoal heats the air that passes through the molasses mix and it vaporizes the sticky molasses into a thick "smoke", but it doesn't burn the molasses. You can quickly tell when it's burning, as it becomes very harsh and stinky.

I never smoked cigs, smoked pot for about 3 years between 18-21 (haven't smoked any for about 6 years now), and I still enjoy smoking an arguileh every once in a while. It's a social thing... and you really have to experience it to understand why it's enjoyable. You don't get "high" at all in the chemical sense, but I get a high from sitting in a good group of people shooting the **** and enjoying a smell like incense...

:D

One more hookah user. Just got back from Turkey with a new nargile (hookah in Turkish) :)
Dinners with friends at my house almost always end with a hookah session. It's a very nice way to end a dinner.

Pictures from a recent Hookah Session. It's FREAKING cold out. Next time I'm bringing a blanket.

Sheep, you need a Hooka tent with a heater buddy. You can't properly relax in freezing temps. The whole purpose of a hooka session is to relax with friends: not freeze your nads off....:D cool smoke shots as well....

LOL :D Nice pics. For those conditions I would recommend whisky in the Hookah and in the cups ;)

Cool thread - I have had the pleasure of smoking a hooka overseas at a little camp outside of Dubai, in the deserts of the United Arab Emirates. I have the picture to prove it; that's me sitting there with this "Wtf are you looking at" look on my face. It was bawls hot in the tent that night, and the beer was warm, but it was fun. The funniest part is the sign on the wall...



EDIT: There's a cool restuarant here in the Tampa area, called Acropolis (Mediterranean/Arabic themed) - they rent hookas out from behind the bar, and I've partaken in that ritual more than once as well. I need to just buck up and buy one altogether, they are very enjoyable. :)

It was farking COLD yesterday. 2-3 degrees C. We're wanting Snow, then we can make chairs and have the hookah completely buried.

Uhm yeah... f**k your lungs... LOL

I guess the point of this is the extremely short lived buzz? If that's the case, there are far safer (though perhaps not legal...) things you can do to 'cop a buzz', and the buzz/high will last far longer....

It's not for a "buzz".... the Shisha I have doesn't contain Tobacco, Nicotine, or Tar. It's for the flavor.
